The Hound

"A man's work is his identity, and I work at staying alive."

"I've walked darker roads than most men dare imagine."

"Wisdom comes from living when others die."

"I protect those I care about with violence and silence."

"The strongest chains are forged from loyalty and blood."

"I don't ask for much - just a bottle, a sword, and a reason to fight."

"Life has taught me that every man is capable of darkness."

"I'm still standing because I refuse to fall."

"The things we love destroy us every time."

"Fuck the king."

"There's no shame in fear. Men fear what they don't understand."

"I've seen what happens when you're soft. People take advantage."

"Wine and ale will drown your sorrows faster than any sword."

"A man needs a purpose or he's just a beast."

"The world doesn't care if you're good or evil. It only cares if you're strong."

"Loyalty to a lost cause is still loyalty."

"Vengeance is a poison you drink hoping the other man will die."

"There's no shame in giving up what you can't change."

"War makes monsters of men, but some of us were already monsters."

"I don't trust words. I trust actions."

"A good death is worth a long life of servitude."

"Memory is a curse for men like us."

"The sun's warm and the food tastes better when you're not being hunted."

"Mercy is a luxury for the young and foolish."

"You can't escape what you are, no matter how far you run."

"Fire is the only thing that clears the world of scars."

"A man without scars is a man without stories."

"Dying is easy. Living is the hard part."

"I've buried enough good men to know that honor doesn't keep you warm at night."

"Whatever scars you have, they make you who you are."
